No exento de cierta amargura, Nemesio de la Galatea descubrió que una constante de la vida se manifestaba a través de la desaparición de sus calcetines. Muy probablemente la máquina lavadora era quien se los engullía, aunque debido a lo costoso que resultaría desarmarla queda pendiente de comprobarse ésta hipótesis.
Agregando insulto a la ofensa eran precisamente calcetines favoritos los faltantes, y con siniestro toque de humor negro pues no se iba el par completo sino que quedaban nones.
La solución más sugerida por conocedores de la materia era que comprase todos los calcetines iguales mitigando así las pérdidas.
Pero ésto resultaba inaceptable para un coleccionista.
ENGLISH VERSION.
Not lacking a tad of bitterness,Nemesius Tiddelbaum noticed that there was a frequency trend for his socks to disappear. It became most likely that the culprit for this was the washing machine, which somehow managed to devour them. In order to prove this theory the machine would need to be dissambled, which would not be cost effective.
To add insult to injury it would not take them as pairs, but only as one of a kind leaving single odd pieces.
The most advised solution he heard of was to buy all socks of the same kind thus mitigating the losses.
But this was unacceptable to a collector.
